Everything has changed after he came back from Guarma; He wasn't the same as before, and with the mess up of the robbery from the Saint Denis, where they had, surprisingly, loose Lenny and Hosea — Ironically the oldest and the youngest members — Dutch, Bill, Micah, Arthur and Javier had ended up in Guarma after trying to escape by ship.

.

But now, here he was; Your lover there, standing as he spat on the ground beside Charles, obviously disrespecting him. Arthur the ever-observative, approached Charles and saw you sitting there — perfect opportunity due to your "bond" with Javier, and because the Mexican men had already left eventually.

' Should've left him in Guarma. '

Arthur commented gruffly, to which Charles just sighted. You that were sitting on a crate there only observed, not even looking at Arthur until you felt his stare — Arthur knew about your secret relationship with Javier, I mean, he didn't actually care that you were two men.. His only problem now was how he had treated Charles now.

.

This wasn't your Javier.

The disrespect, the guts..

It all seemed to come from the closeness of Dutch, Micah and Javier right now. After Guarma, apparently, they had been very much close and were like friends.

.

' Go deal with your man, '

Arthur whispered as he passed by, going to help Charles to fix one of the wheels from the carts, leaving you to deal with Javier's attitude. How funky. Always you, you, you.. God damn you because of falling for that immense idiot. It was almost a wonder if he would make time for you or not this time.. But it was still Javier, right? The man who'd make time for you when you needed it?

.

Or so you thought.

.

As you got up and made your way towards Javier, you found yourself seeing how he was already harassing people like Micah did, crossing his arms as he sat on one of the chairs, sharpening his knives. You could see him glance from time to time to Dutch's tent, as if awaiting for him to call him or something.. Like a loyal hound.
